Barty admits lockdown training proving 'tricky'
Ash Barty is finding it tricky to maintain high intensity in training during the shutdown but the women's world No 1 is hoping she will be back to her usual self with the flick of a switch when tennis resumes after the COVID-19 pandemic.
While Australian Barty, whose partner Gary Kissick is a golfer, has seen her golf game improve during the lockdown in Brisbane, her tennis training is in "a little bit of a holding pattern".
"It's kind of tricky to train with the same intensity as always," Barty, who turned 24 on Friday, told the Sunday Herald Sun. "Obviously, we're still not sure when we'll go back.
"Now, it's about maintaining for if and when we get an opportunity to play again this year, you can kinda flick that switch and go from there."
